Indian music composer A R Rahman is making waves in Hollywood yet again.

He’s already secured a nomination for Golden Globe Awards in the Best Original Score category for Danny Boyle’s film 127 Hours. Now, his song “If I Rise” from the same film has been shortlisted for the possible nominees in the Best Song category for the Oscars.

The song “If I Rise” is a collaboration between Rahman and American popstar Dido.

Rahman faces tough competition from other artists who have made it to the shortlist. The Academy members are particularly strict while choosing nominees for Best Song. Though at most five songs can be nominated, there have been times when only three or two songs were considered fit for nomination.
